When Thanksgiving can’t come to you, you go to it! We had the most untraditional, unconventional Thanksgiving this year and by far was our most memorable! Most of us gathered in my niece’s apartment in Utah enjoying good food & family. No frills, no fancy decor to get in the way of what we’re most grateful for: each other! (The Martha Stewart in me didn’t freak out at the store bought pies! 😜😂) Such a simple celebration, but filled with tremendous gratitude.
We enjoyed our time together on an early morning walk..most enjoyed the walk! (Lexi, ahem) Did some shopping, saw The Star, went to Temple Square to see the beautiful lights and Nativity.
Wished all our family could’ve been together.
We are fortunate to be blessed with so much; blessed with things that don’t have a price tag or dollar sign. Blessed with things that come with love and joy!
My favorite quote of the trip:
Alex: “Umm, Mom, next time we go on a long road trip, can we take an airplane instead? Just leave the car at home”.

My brother and Remi zonked out yesterday. This was even before dinner lol. Thanksgiving was awesome, I did eat a bite of almost everything at dinner aside from the turkey. Aside from having to make a mad dash from the table and almost barf, it went pretty well. Mom was upset because I barely ate and still had trouble, but I'm viewing it as a victory because I didn't barf. She always worries when I'm in a flare like this, because she knows just how bad it has been before. Eating solid food is coming back to bite me big time today, but I'll take what progress I can get, wherever I can get it. I'm just thankful I got to spend time with my family, I didn't feel like total crap, and I get to relax with my hubby today. #smallvictories#thankful#gastroparesisawareness#lifewithchronicillness#chronicillness#chronicpain#takewhaticanget#anyprogressisgoodprogress#aboyandhispup#thanksgivingnap
